Manchester City are grappling with a deepening injury crisis following their 2-1 League Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, with winger Savinho and defender Manuel Akanji the latest to join an already lengthy list of sidelined players.

Savinho stretchered off

Savinho was taken off on a stretcher in the 62nd minute with a suspected ankle injury, while Akanji was ruled out just before kickoff due to a muscular issue. This has left City manager Pep Guardiola with only 13 fit players ahead of a critical Premier League fixture against Bournemouth on Saturday.
